Dog Guard DG9000, Installation And Training Manual

Page: 34 / 41

If you are using treats or toys, do not let your pet have them after getting into the
signal field. Give praise when your pet gives the proper response, or when he is
going toward the safe area.
Notes:
If, during the “Proofing Phase,” your pet is showing signs that he DOES NOT understand
his boundaries, you may allow him to get corrected (as directed in step 4 of Days 2 & 3).
However, he may receive
NO MORE THAN 3 corrections per day.
If, by the end of Week 1, your pet is still entering the signal field, PLEASE CALL
YOUR DEALER.
Week 2:
Your pet has now entered the final stage of training. Although this stage takes the least
amount of work, it is critical to STAY COMMITTED.
1. With your dog off-leash, repeat the training process as performed during Week 1.
Notes:
If you feel your pet is having trouble avoiding the flags, he may begin the first day or
two of Week 2 on-leash.
Your pet may be allowed off-leash ONLY while someone supervises him in the yard.
If your pet seems tempted to go beyond the flags, correct him verbally, or, if he is still
on-leash, pull him back before he enters the signal field.
Week 3:
Continue as above. Remember to keep flags up for at least 30 days.
Week 4:
At the end of week 4 begin to remove every third flag, every other day, until all flags are
gone. Flags in woods or hard to see areas may be left up.
